Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts: Case Management

Summary
State drug court Case management models

The Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts: Case Management resource (Case Management) is designed to provide Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts (Wellness Courts) and their staff a guide to effective case management and the case manager role.

"The Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts: Case Management resource (Case Management) is designed to provide Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts (Wellness Courts) and their staff a guide to effective case management and the case manager role. This resource will discuss the ins and outs of case management as guided by the widely accepted standards set forth by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals Professional Services Branch and the National Drug Court Institute (NDCI), before moving into a more practical discussion of the role case management plays in Wellness Courts. Because the resources and staff available to Wellness Courts are often limited, this publication will also address how several members of a Wellness Court team can effectively and ethically assist with case management. Additionally, this publication will provide strategies for how a Wellness Court case manager can balance their role with other duties. While this short resource provides an overview of the subject, exploring the breadth of common issues impacting case management in Wellness Courts, this is not intended to be the sole resource for developing or revising the role of a Wellness Courts case manager. Instead, this resource is a first stop, with references to additional resources that will provide a more in-depth discussion of the topic at hand."
